After five years of the old template, it was time spruce up the place. The older software was coming to the end of its security patching December 2014. This new template Alasse by Joomlashack gives us a lot more options and will let us grow the website in coming years.

We were able to migrate all the content from the old site. Most of the menu items are the same as before, but in slightly different places. The layouts change with the size of your browser so you will be able to see this website easier on a tablet or smartphone. The printing is also larger. On big screens there is less wasted space.

If you see something that doesn't look right, just send me an email.
